Conroe/North Houston Rgnl sits in Houston, Texas. Field elevation is 244.8 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 14/32 at 7,501 ft. Runway 01/19 is 5,000 ft. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2100. One ILS is published for runway 14.

This is a busy field. Published remarks call out extensive student pilot activity from sunrise to sunset. There is also extensive military helicopter activity on the airport. Helicopters use right-hand traffic. If you are planning a first trip in, watch the southwest side of the airport for the noise-sensitive area. Runway 14/32 has high-intensity lights that start at low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the runway end identifier lights on runway 32.
Two on-field FBOs are listed. Galaxy FBO carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. General Aviation Services carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. This is also a U.S. Customs user fee airport. Call U.S. Customs before arrival if you need that service. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Houston Approach. For IFR cancellation, use the published Houston Approach number.
